Do you pay referral fees or rewards?
We're not able to pay referral fees, commissions, or gifts conditioned on a referral to anyone who isn't a licensed real estate agent — Maryland real estate law and federal RESPA rules don't allow it. What we can promise is that every person you send is treated with care, and you'll get a heartfelt thank-you from our team. Licensed agents can receive a referral fee paid broker-to-broker under a written agreement.
What happens after I submit a referral?
A member of our team reaches out to the person you referred by phone or email, usually within one business day. We'll let you know once we've connected. Their personal and financial details stay confidential.
Will the person I refer get spammed?
No. We contact referrals personally, and they won't receive automated text messages unless they opt in themselves. They can ask us to stop contacting them at any time.
Should I ask before sharing someone's information?
Yes, please. Only share contact information for people who have told you it's okay for us to reach out. The form asks you to confirm that you have their permission.
Can I refer someone who is moving outside Maryland or DC?
Yes. Let us know where they're headed and we'll connect them with a trusted, licensed agent in that area through a referral relationship, and keep you posted.
I'm a real estate agent — how do agent referrals work?
Submit your client's information along with your brokerage and license number. We'll send a referral agreement for signature, provide updates from first contact through closing, and the referral fee is paid broker-to-broker through Samson Properties.
